One of my parts cars is a 63 Hardtop Lemans, the car is about 97% original with 90K on the odometer. The interior color is black. I know that the 1960s era process to get a chrome look to the rings was to chrome the entire part, & then detail mask & paint what they did not want to show off as chrome. On my black car which has never been altered from stock on the inside as far as I can tell, it appears that the background of the dash, where there are a series of parallel lines that all run left to right (behind) the 4 round openings. On all my cars this appears to be factory painted a dull silver color. All my cars appear to have silver paint on top of the chrome in this background area. Any comments from other members on this?
